Valid arguments against forced 3/4ths perspective (a work in progress) 1. It's terrible at showing depth. All you get is that wacky area at the top of the sprite. There's no context for thickness over the length of the sprite, meaning it only works on things that have a consistent thickness over the...

This is now a 3/4ths thread.

It's trash and shame on you for thinking it looks good. Things need to look like how they actually are, not from some context robbing perspective.

OK, back to the mob stuff.

Yes the mulligan system was supposed to fix this as kor said, but I was too nice and gave the admins an easy to use override for rounds that were too fucked to continue. They then proceeded to use that override nearly every time, even when it was a five minute in dead wizard. As a result the feature...

It's so apples to oranges at this point it's nearly impossible to even compare them.

The funny thing is that logically, if clothing was "stretching" the deformation would be expected. But yeah you can't just double pixels to fill the void, it needs a more nuanced solution.

The spessmen torso is a barrel, 100% flat. The female torso essentially fakes having a chest by carving out the stomach on the side sprites and pushing the chest into the arms in the front/back. If you ever saw a real person that looked like this, you'd probably run for your life. Currently the limi...

Anything that's cube shaped (as in H ~= W ~= D) looks terrible in "the new style".

Anything that's not cube shaped is significantly harder to sprite in "the new style".

I mean it really feels lose-lose here.

The server is running linux and that's the test. If you can get your linux machine to work there it should work on the other servers too.

After a lot of bitching by people like me we rolled backed the tgui change so people not running windows 8/10 could once again play the game.

All 5x one spell loadouts are supposed to be hideous memes that in most cases are theoretically functional. Getting goofy with the loadout is the right way to play wizard. Also rod form has some undocumented extra benefits from upgrading, the rod travels farther, and thus you are invincible longer (...

I've tried this a few times before on live servers with hour long traitor/traitoresque round and it usually works out pretty well except when someone releases the engine early. I'd never suggest it be the norm though.

Actually it's not, if you die while transform you're just dead. It probably SHOULD work like how you're saying though. Maybe I'll do that.

A reminder that keeping every mode type in rotation, even broken ones, and even if only at a very rare chance, has literally no downsides.

As others have echoed I'm not sure if splitting the US servers is a great idea given concurrent player numbers tank pretty hard later in the night and one of the servers tends to end up abandoned.

Euro server sounds bretty good though.

As the progenitor of most of the not objectively terrible lizard changes: 1.

So it turns out that Poly picks up phrases quicker than I thought, and because of this I could move the bots setting to tweeting every half hour instead of every hour without any real risk out of running out of phrases.

If someone was paying close attention they might have seen poly goof up a little while ago. I've corrected the problem but as a side effect poly now posts at X:08 instead of the more mematic X:20. I might fix that at some point but for now whatever.

With up to 32 players (is it higher?) I can easily get the code optimized to work efficiently, far better than Byonds.

Have wanted to do this for years. The tricky bit isn't the departments, but rather the hallways and maint shafts that connect them.
